Service Description

Do you want to merge with your dog into a sporty unit and learn the fascination of sled dog sports properly from the ground up? This exclusive basic course is the perfect foundation for your shared adventure. Whether Canicross, Bikejoring, or Dogscooting – a safe and joyful start begins not with speed, but with trust and a secure foundation. In a small group of a maximum of 6 human-dog teams, we leave nothing to chance. We introduce your dog step by step to its new task and use the group dynamics specifically as a learning environment. Over one weekend, you will get the basics, which you can then consolidate at our weekly run. The shared path to the top: Trust as a foundation: We start with relationship building. Your dog learns playfully and without pressure – even in the presence of other dogs – what it means to wear the pulling harness and build the first connection forward. Clean and constant in the pull: A good sled dog is characterized by focus. We work on ensuring your dog pulls evenly and reliably – unimpressed by external stimuli or other teams. Responsibility at the front: Running in front requires courage. We show your dog how to move forward confidently and take the lead while relying blindly on you. Learning to read the dog: Sled dog sport is communication. You will learn to read your dog's body language under load and give appropriate directional commands at the right moment – even when overtaking in the group. Health & Well-being: The well-being of the dog always comes first. We pay meticulous attention to the correct warm-up, break times, and healthy, age-appropriate training. Important info: Content: 2x group training sessions on one weekend (max. 6 human-dog teams). Minimum age: From 12 months (depending on breed and development). The dog must be physically suitable for the physical exertion. Prerequisite: Valid dog owner liability insurance. For brachycephalic dog breeds, proof of fitness for sports from a veterinarian is required.
